Summerfest Snags Jason Aldean

Summerfest has made its first headliner announcement for 2013 and it’s a big one. The annual party in Milwaukee that bills itself as “the world’s largest music festival” has snagged country star Jason Aldean.

Aldean is looking at a very good summer come next year. In one single day last month he conducted a three-city blitz and announced 2013 shows at Boston’s Fenway Park, Chicago’s Wrigley Field and Sanford Stadium in Athens, Ga. The Fenway date sold out so fast that organizers quickly added a second show at the grand ol’ ballpark.

Last week, Aldean teased his 2013 schedule by announcing cities while holding back on dates and venues. Although Milwaukee wasn’t mentioned, the list did include Madison, Wis.

Summerfest fans who subscribe to the festival’s news alerts, “like” the festival on Facebook or follow the festival’s Twitter feed will get first cracks at Aldean tickets via a pre-sale launching Nov. 29. The general onsale launches Nov. 30. Visit Summerfest.com for more information.
